"setting a new standard"
“Mark is setting a new standard for what [wedding] videography should be. First off, he was incredible to work with - being so flexible as to do anything within his power to make our day as easy as possible. Second, the video we received went beyond our wildest imagination. I would do the wedding all over again just to be able to watch the video for the first time again.”

"they felt like friends"
“We were originally on the fence about booking videography but realized that photos and videos are our only lasting memories from the day. After our initial phone call we both agreed we can’t go without video. The professionalism, upbeat personalities, and attention to detail of their team are truly exceptional. They felt like friends on our wedding day and they have a genuine passion for capturing the emotion of the day. The final films turned out absolutely fantastic.”
